Learn how to apply the Navier-Stokes equations to viscous flows. Analyze pipe, channel and Stokes flows, and use dynamical similarity, dimensional analysis, and lubrication theory to model fluid optimization and handling problems in industrial and academic settings.

Syllabus

  • The Navier-Stokes equation and appropriate boundary conditions
  • The concept of Dynamical similarity
  • Application of Dimensional analysis to complex problems
  • Analysis of complex viscous flows such as Stokes flow or transient responses
  • Lubrication Analysis for thin films and free surfaces
